User manual
EN-GB English

This guide is intended for recipients and caregivers using
the Cochlear™ Osia®2 Sound Processor as part of the
Cochlear Osia System.
Intended use
The Cochlear Osia System uses bone conduction to transmit
sounds to the cochlea (inner ear) with the purpose of
enhancing hearing. The Osia Sound Processor is intended
to be used as part of the Cochlear Osia System to pick up
surrounding sound and transfer it to the implant through a
digital inductive link.
The Cochlear Osia System is indicated for patients
with conductive, mixed hearing loss and single-sided
sensorineural deafness (SSD). Patients should have sufficient
bone quality and quantity to support successful implant
placement. The Osia System is indicated for patients with up
to 55 dB SNHL.

Power
Batteries
The Osia 2 Sound Processor uses a high power 675 (PR44)
zinc air disposable battery designed for hearing implant use.
CAUTION
If a standard 675 battery is used the device will not
function.
Battery life
Batteries should be replaced as needed, just as you would
with any other electronic device. Battery life varies according
to your implant type, the thickness of skin covering your
implant, and which programs you use each day.
Your sound processor has been designed to provide the
majority of users with a full day of battery life when using zinc
air batteries. It will automatically go into sleep mode after you
remove it from your head (~30 seconds). When it is attached
again, it will automatically turn on again within a few seconds.
As sleep mode will still consume some power, the device
should be turned off when not in use.
